What Is Included in the Price?
The £499 Ghost 2 cost is a complete supply and fit price. It includes the Autowatch Ghost 2 unit, professional mobile installation at a location that suits you, whether home, work or a dealership, and setup of your personal PIN sequence. Trackershop covers every UK postcode and offers some of the fastest install times available. There is nothing further to pay to keep it working.
What Affects the Cost of a Ghost Immobiliser?
The headline price is consistent because the Ghost 2 has a set RRP, but a few things influence what you finally pay:
• Standalone or package. The biggest factor. A Ghost on its own is £499. Adding a GPS tracker or dash cam raises the total but bundles in a discount.
• Vehicle make and model. Most installs are straightforward. Some high-end or complex vehicles take longer to wire, which can affect certain fittings.
• Where you buy. A single set RRP means you should be wary of quotes far below it, which often exclude professional fitting or use uncertified installers.
Are There Any Ongoing Costs?
No. This is one of the biggest advantages of the Ghost. It is a one-time purchase with no subscription and no renewal fees. Once it is fitted, it protects your vehicle for as long as you own it at no extra cost.
This is where it differs from a GPS tracker, which usually carries a small monthly or annual fee for its SIM data and monitoring platform. Many drivers choose to run both, and that is where the package prices above come in.
Ghost Immobiliser vs GPS Tracker: Cost Compared
A Ghost immobiliser and a GPS tracker do different jobs, and their costs work differently too.
• A Ghost immobiliser prevents theft. A thief cannot start or drive your car without your secret PIN sequence. It is a one-off cost with no ongoing fees.
• A GPS tracker helps recover your car if it is taken, giving live location to a monitoring centre and the police. It usually has a subscription.
For complete protection, many owners combine the two: the Ghost stops the car being driven away, and the tracker aids recovery if a thief tries to tow or lift it. Our insurance approved trackers pair perfectly with the Ghost for this reason.
Ghost Immobiliser and Tracker Packages
Combining a Ghost with a tracker is the most complete vehicle security setup available, and buying them together costs less than separately.
Ghost 2 and S5 Tracker
The most comprehensive package. Alongside full Ghost immobilisation you get the S5 tracker's 24/7 control room monitoring, rapid real-time tracking, and Automatic Driver Recognition, which triggers an instant control-room alert if the vehicle moves without the driver's ID card present. Many insurers specifically require an S5 tracker to validate a policy. Fully installed at a reduced £799 inc VAT. View the Ghost 2 and S5 package.
Ghost 2 and S7 Tracker
A popular choice, especially where insurance requires a tracking system. The S7 adds 24/7 control room service and tow-away alerts, so even if a thief cannot start your car and tries to tow it or lift it onto a flatbed, an instant alert is triggered. Fully installed at a reduced £649 inc VAT. View the Ghost 2 and S7 package.
Ghost 2 and Security Tracker
If you do not need a tracker for insurance but still want extra security, this package adds real-time tracking, full journey history, and unlimited zones and motion alerts through a private app and mapping panel. Fully installed at a reduced £599 inc VAT. View the Ghost 2 and Security Tracker package.
We also offer Ghost packages with dash cams for added evidence and protection.
Is a Ghost Immobiliser Worth the Cost?
For most owners of a targeted vehicle, yes. Modern theft is increasingly about relay attacks and key cloning, which defeat many factory alarms. Because the Ghost needs a secret PIN sequence to start the car, it blocks these methods entirely, and it is undetectable to scanning tools because it adds no radio signals. Against the cost and disruption of losing a vehicle, a one-off £499 with no ongoing fees is modest. Some insurers may also look more favourably on a vehicle with a TASSA-accredited immobiliser fitted, though this varies, so it is worth checking with your own insurer.
Spreading the Cost
